i think people made up their minds about the e-mails. >> this is bigger than watergate. >> you are fascinated with sex. we have to stop this pipeline. ?? good morning. welcome to "sunday today." i'm willie geist. we are nine days away from a presidential election that feels like it began a lifetime ago. both campaigns say they want to know more from fbi director james comey after the revelation that they have flagged e-mails, stoking the story right before the election. clinton on saturday calling the
7:01 am
troubling, calling out director comey to explain. donald trump seizing the opportunity to remind voters of the e-mail controversy. we'll speak live to his campaign manager kellyanne conway later. and justin timberlake to talk about his rise from mickey mouse club, to 'n sync, career. what was your strategy. >> it can bring out a lot of courage. at the end of the day, you know you're getting the opportunity to do what you love. >> good conversation with justin a bit later. before we get to the presidential campaign. officials in central italy assessing a damage after a powerful 6.6 earthquake struck the area this morning.
7:02 am
historic city of norcia. the quake could be felt 100 miles away. so far no one has killed or trapped in the rubble, but there are several reports of a hurt. this was a tremor from a quake that struck the same area in august that killed 300 people. what sparked a huge fire on board an american airlines plane on friday. the ntsb says a turbine disk broke look, sparking the fire and sending debris half miles away. 20 of the 61 passengers suffered minor injuries. and the cleveland underance just one win away from the world series title. they beat the chicago cushion last nib behind ace pitcher corey kluber. they've been waiting 71 years. so far the cubs have lost both games at wrigley. they get another shot tonight with game 5 in chicago. if the indians take it, it will
7:03 am
series win since 1948. now to the race for the white house. the fall outthat the fbi found new e-mails related to the e-mail server investigation. a move secretary clinton calls unprecedented. let's get the latest from hallie jackson. she's outside trump tower here in new york city. hallie, good morning. >> reporter: hey there, willie. good morning. we are learn that the fbi director surprised even the decision to notify congress of that new information, a decision that apparently defied the department's recommendation sources tell us. now he is under fire as hillary clinton's campaign looking to get off defense goes on attack. you newest all-out asaul from the hillary clinton campaign not against her republican rival, but fbi director james comey. >> it's not just strange, but
7:04 am
troubling, because voters deserve to get full and complete facts. >> reporter: clinton pushing back hard against the letter from comey about the fbi's review of new e-mails relating to the inquire query into clinton's private server e-mails that come from the laptop of anthony weiner, the estranged husband of huma abedin, and under investigation for allegedly now we are learning that that her was sent opposed to the justice department. those sources say comey himself deciding telling congress was better than waiting and hoping news of the discovery wouldn't leak. >> very, very serious things must be happening, and must have been found. >> reporter: but it's still not clear exactly what has been
7:05 am
even analyzed the e-mails yet, with both sides calling on the fbi to share more. four top senate democrats now demanding the fbi give them answers by tomorrow, pointing out the e-mails may be duplication of what they already have. says the letter is light on facts, heavy on innuendo. >> there's no evidence of wrongdoing, no charge of wrongdoing, no indication this is even about >> there's sometimes a big difference between the way things look and the way they are. >> reporter: the controversy put a new spotlight on abdin and her estranged husband, with trump taking aim at weiner. >> i don't like huma going home and telling anthony weiner all these secrets.
7:06 am
looks like a bombshell is actually fizzling out. trump's team really obviously sees it differently, an adviser saying he will go on offense big time. watch for him to hit this today later in battleground nevada. >> lucky for us we have one of those advisers, donald trump's campaign manager kelly anne conway. let's start with what we know about much. we know in the course of investigating anthony weiner, they found thousands of e-mails, according to nbc's reporting, but don't know the content. last night donald trump said this is the biggest scandal. do you know something about the content that the rest of the people don't know? >> no, of course not, but what we do know when hillary clinton says this is unprecedented what we should remind ourselves what is unprecedented, indeed
7:07 am
place. she can't escape that. she's playing the victim now. they're doing an all-out assault on fbi director comey, shooting the messenger plus, a full body slam, and i think that's risky strategy as well. but for hillary clinton violating long-standing policy setting up this private server, failing to turn over an additional 17,000, bleaching them so they would be permanently deleted, we wouldn't be in this position what is in those e-mails. she could call us -- call into the "today" show and tell you, willie geist, here's what in the e-mails. >> this is an open investigation on the eve of an election. that's why the doj recommended not to proceed with the letter. if you were on the other side of this, would you think this was the right thing to do on the eve of an election to be so vague about it without knowing the
7:08 am
had he sat on the investigation, he may well have been interfering with the the election as well. the go and vote for hillary clinton, then this investigation is reopened or i guess a separate investigation is launched, then what? she's already president under this cloud of corruption that really has defined the last couple years. >> the country has gotten whiplash, because it was just july when your campaign was going after james comey when he announced there should be no prosecution. that was his rec case. donald trump suggested the process was rigged there, that in fact james comey was acting with the doj on behalf of hillary clinton to help her win the election. have you changed your opinion about jim comey? >> no, these are two separate things. here is why. on july 5th he came forward and told the public we're not going to prosecute hillary clinton, then he went on to completely undercut that conclusion by calling her reckless and careless in her handling of the
7:09 am
congress under oath and says, well, she didn't have one server -- she had many devices, they destroyed evidence. yes, in fact under oath there was national security and classified information being exchanged on that server. this is different. this is a separate investigation and i think it was an impossible situation. let's not let him be the victim too much either, in that he had done a thorough job to begin with, ma that's also on huma. i understand she clearly signed that she confirmed she had turned over all the devices that was what was demanded of hillary's team, yet we have one with maybe 15,000 e-mails. i think it's incredibly ironic this stems from another investigation, has nothing to do with the republican party, the trump campaign into anthony weiner's sexting. >> do you expect we'll learn the content of those e-mails? >> i have no idea.
7:10 am
of these types of investigations is that they take a long time. so i think the clinton campaign is pressuring comey to do something that may not be possible given the short time. let's talk about the trump campaign's path to victory. you know that it's always been a tough path. there are many swings states that are swinging in her favor leaning that way. many people have pointed out interesting where he's spending his time, places like colorado, michigan, where hillary clinton has pretty comfortable pennsylvania as well. are you spending your time in the right places? >> yes, and he does up to three states per day. she doesn't do that usually. she'll be in a few states today, including new mexico. michigan on monday, but he'll go back to pennsylvania many times, so we see the map, florida, ohio, north carolina, iowa look good for us, and then we add nevada, new hampshire, maine
7:11 am
places we're going. >> is your internal policies different? you mention new hampshire, pennsylvania, michigan, she has leads in much of -- >> but she never gets beyond 46% practically. if amid st. the fact that my candy has such a tough ceiling, i would worry, if you're an undecided voter, willie, what are you going to learn in the next nine days that's going to say i do trust her, and i've those undecided voters generally go against the status quo, against the person who represents more of the same. we also like the early returns, the information we're getting from the rnc every day, they provide us with information about the early returns, compared to where we were in 2012. >> look at the front page this morning of "the washington post," a story from a reporter david faronhold who is doing exhaustive reporting, the conclusion of this piece is that
7:12 am
he's given. there's a simple way for us to know how much he's given. that would be to release his taxes. you've made it a year and a half without releasing them. why won't you release the tax returns. >> for the same reasonable he always stays the the lawyers and accountants said don't dot it while under an active audit. but he has put forward a 104-page financial disclosure form. >> that's not -- >> that journalist and paper are way against mr. trump, we know that, but from my personal knowledge and from -- this man is a very generous person with his time and with his money and has helped a lot of people over the years. that foundation, the trump foundation, no one is on the payroll, no family member, there's no overhead. >> you acknowledged, though, kelly anne, the irs says he could put forth the -- >> that's the same organization
7:13 am
they think that, but he has advice from his accountants and lawyers. i think talking about disclosing one's tax returns versus here we are under the second fbi investigation in a year, most people i know are not under fbi investigation, let alone two of them. i think people will look at hillary clinton saying this has my hesitation, my reluctance all along, and i simply can't elect somebody. it's too risky of a choice. she does not believe in full disclosures and transparency. >> is in nine days and releeks the tax returns? >> woulder going to surprise everyone and win the election. dylan is here with a quick check of the weather. >> on this sunday we are looking at heavy rain across northwestern california. we'll see two days of rain, today and tomorrow a second round of storms. we could see all in all about four inches of rain, some of that rain stretching up into
7:14 am
of snow in the sierra nevada. elsewhere across the country, it's all about the record warm temperatures. we're looking at highs running about 15 to 20 degrees above averag and that's your latest forecast. >> dylan, thank you very much. straight ahead, the highs and lows of the week, including the 97-year-old cubs fan who was
